Oh man, that's really nice. I especially like all the detail on the necklace and the shape of the earrings.
The critique I have here is that the facial dimensions, or the pose, is a little weird, making the chin jut out in a cartoonish way. Also, the forehead seems a little too rounded. Now, this wouldn't be so bad, except it has a bit of contrast to the detail placed on the jewelry and hair that doesn't work super well.
All in all, though, it does look nice.

I love this piece. The details on the jewelry, the hair, the sad expression.
Definitely my favourite this round.

The longer I stare at this piece, the more I find to love. I particularly like the intricacy of her choker - there are a lot of details, the most interesting of which (to me) is that the top center tine, viewed in profile, is bent inward to poke at her neck. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown, and for the queen, the prickle at her throat is a constant reminder to maintain her poise.
There’s something off about the relationship between her eye and her forehead, I think. The trouble is, I lack the words to explain why - half the time when I look back at the piece, I don’t even see what’s bothering me. Maybe something to do with the implied space between her eyebrows, given the perspective we see her from? Also, the placement of the jewels on the crown seems a bit haphazard.
Still, these things do little to impact how much I love this piece. From the interweaving of the leaves of her crown to the stray locks of hair framing her face to the soft sadness in her expression, this is a wonderful work. Well done, Artist. I do hope to see more of your art down the line. ^^

I admit I find myself wondering where the top of the lady’s head has gone. Perhaps we’re not seeing just a crown, but a symbolic projection of her dura mater or her dreamstate? If so, that should be made more clear.
Still, a top notch and creative piece, rendered with skill. Eleven of nine pixels, with a dusting of eraser rubbings for using traditional media.

Congrats, TheRiverSings! I avoided commenting on this for obvious reasons, but I must say I am happy with the way she turned out.

I apologize for my long overdue response!
Thank you all so much for your feedback. I do wish I had spent a little more time on this piece to just to neaten everything up a little and work on proportions.
Things I need to invest in right now: A scanner (so I'm not taking pictures of these on my phone,) and better time management.
I do always find it challenging to create a piece based off of someone else's writing, without being able to do it collaboratively with them. I want to be able to bring their vision to reality, rather than my interpretation of it.
I really appreciate hearing all of your critiques and opinions! It helps make me a better artist :)
